The Holy Quran 54:12 — Surah Al-Qamar

Arabic text

وَفَجَّرْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ عُيُونًا فَٱلْتَقَى ٱلْمَآءُ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْرٍ قَدْ قُدِرَ

Translation

And (in addition to the waters raining from the sky) We opened springs in the earth (from which more water gushed forth) so that the waters (raining from the sky and gushing from the earth) met for a matter preordained (resulting in a flood as punishment for them).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
